Procesh

Procesh

Sir,

Quote, Salient, 22 April, 1970, Mike Fay: "the Procesh was expected by the public and did not present a poor image."

What rubbish! From where did Mike Fay get his statistics to support his statement? Did he get them from the "bloody idiots" in the 1969 Procession?

I stood in the crowd on Dawson's Corner and watched the 1970 Procession. I did not hear one person cheer; but I did hear statements about the Procession being another example of our sick society.

Let's face it! There are other ways of letting ones hair down, than resorting to barnyard muck.

It is time that the students involved with the Procession were given a bath, their mouths washed out with soap and water, and their pink behinds soundly spanked.

Or, perhaps it can be arranged that they be exiled to an island where they can wallow in their filth without offending other people.

It was fortunate that schoolchildren were unable to watch the Procession. Most parents would have had a difficult time explaining the student's behaviour.

It is to be hoped that students will quit their grovelling and rise to higher thoughts and deeds in the 1971 Capping Celebrations.
